Question
Chapter 24.1, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the female choice is a prezygotic or postzygotic isolating mechanism with reference to the experiment of fig.23.9 of the book.
Introduction: The form of reproductive isolation that prevents the process of fertilization is called a prezygotic isolation method. Whereas, the method that does not allow the production of fertile offspring is called postzygotic isolation mechanism.

Which of the following are true about the logic we use to identify alleles under positive selection at a given locus?
Question 3 options:
Alleles under positive selection should occur at relatively high frequency.
An allele that occurs at relatively high frequency because of genetic drift is likely to be a "young allele," which means it arose by mutation relatively recently.
An allele that occurs at relatively high frequency because of positive selection is likely to be an "old allele," which means it arose by mutation relatively recently.
"Old alleles" are likely to be in linkage disequilibrium with nearby loci. "Young alleles" are likely to be in linkage equilibrium with nearby loci.
Consider what we now know about the tree of life. Which of the following statements are true?

- Intrasexual selection favors traits that enhance direct competition among individuals of the same sex. are attractive to the opposite sex. increase survival. are easily adapted to change.arrow_forwardIntrasexual selection involves competition among one sex (typically males) for mating access to the other sex. Intersexual selection involves mate choice in which individuals from one sex (typically females) choose their mates from among individuals of the other sex. Imagine a group of males that is engaged in agonistic behavior, from which Male A emerges triumphant. Now imagine a female that is assessing all of the males that were involved in the fights, and chooses Male A. Explain why this situation shows how intrasexual and intersexual selection pressures are likely both at play in the trait selection.arrow_forwardWhat are indirect fitness benefits of siblicide?
